| COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT HANDGUN PRACTICAL SKILLS PROGRAM New Two-Day Format Third Quarter 2009 Sessions |
In response to demand from our students, the Personal Protection Institute is pleased to
announce that our Handgun Practical Skills Program is now available in small group sessions
on weekends. These two-day programs will be held at our range facility in Doswell, Virginia,
just north of Richmond.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This program is designed for the more experienced shooter who has already selected a
firearm for self-defense, is familiar with its operation and controls, and is capable of engaging
defense oriented targets at close range. Those who intend to lawfully carry a defensive
firearm with a concealed carry permit will receive the most benefit from this course. This
program is not appropriate for students with no prior handgun experience, or those who have
not yet selected a defensive firearm. Such students should inquire about our Introductory
Range Training Sessions or Private Lessons.
Working in a small group setting, participants will build their competence in areas of
marksmanship fundamentals, gun handling, and introductory tactics. Students will learn and
practice safe draw of handguns from concealment, stressed reloading techniques,
malfunction clearance, flashlight use and other essential gun handling skills. Participants will
engage targets from a variety of positions, and incorporate movement and use of cover in
solving self-defense problems. A low-light firing session is included.
EQUIPMENT NEEDS AND REGISTRATION
Students are responsible for providing their own weapons, spare magazines, speed loaders,
speed strips, and holsters as applicable, as well as up to 300 rounds of ammunition. Hearing
and eye protection is also required. A selection of modern self-defense guns for students to
fire and evaluate is available at the end of the program. Loaner firearms and accessories are
available with advance notice. All sessions begin at 9:00 a.m., and run until approximately
6:00 p.m. The low-light session is presented on Saturday evening after a dinner break.
Sunday features an earlier afternoon dismissal based on group progress.
Detailed directions to the course site and pre-course information are provided with your
confirmed registration, which must be received no later than one week before your preferred
course date. Registration is on a first-come, first served basis. Advance payment is required
for registration confirmation. Each program is strictly limited to 16 students and early
registration is advised. Cash, check or major credit cards accepted. Tuition for this program
is $299.95; discounts are available for partners, groups, and early registration. Applicants
must be at least 18 years of age, and should be prepared to demonstrate good character
prior to admission. Prospective students should call (804) 254-0620 or e-mail
info@ppisafety.com for more information or to confirm eligibility and apply for this program.
